  2. Ability to stop/start/restart BI Connector in Ops Manager

    Currently, Ops Manager does not support stop/start/restart BI Connector that is managed by Ops Manager Automation. There is only a Terminate option available.

  3. Allow to configure `maxTimeMS` for commands executed from Ops Manager's Data Explorer

    What is the problem that needs to be solved? Allow to configure maxTimeMS for MongoDB commands which are executed from Ops Manager's Data Explorer.

    Why is it a problem? (the pain) A) Ops Manager's Data Explorer cannot work with views in case if the view is taking >15000 ms to be load. Data Explorer cannot work with find operations in case if that find operation is taking >15000 ms to be completed.

  4. Add Ops Manager check to prevent making backups of itself (Backing databases - AppDB, Oplog, Blockstore)

    Otherwise, an Out Of Memory condition may result and disable Ops Manager.

  5. Make snapshot retention policy more customisable

    Make the retention policy of Ops Manager snapshots customisable so we can choose custom values (like 21) to be more flexible with the settings.

  6. Build Ops Manager packages for ARM architecture

    The new Graviton instance types in AWS seem very promising from a cost/peformance perspective. We would love to be able to run our Ops Manager cluster on these new instance types, but there currently aren't any packages available for ARM architectures!

  7. ops manager agent support for Rocky Linux

    Ops manager and Mongodb work on Rocky, but it seems there is no option for Rocky in the Ops Manager agent manifest, the current agent detects no Linux flavor for Rocky Linux. This already works on RHEL/CentOS and Rocky is supposed to be fully compatible with these OS's.

  9. Restore indexes using mongoimport - metadata.json

    When importing an archive from s3 we are given compressed gz files for the JSON data and a metadata.json file which has index info, however there is no efficient way to restore these indexes as mongoimport doesn't support creating indexes. Indexes need to be created manually. When needing to restore multiple collections this can take a very long time.
    It would be great if mongoimport could use this file to create indexes after an import (like mongorestore).

  10. Allow Regexp, or other solution, to look for groups in "SAML Group Member Attribute" field

    The Ops Manager authentification process through SAML requires that the user's groups are specified in a dedicated SAML attribute sent by the IDP, so the user can connect to Ops Manager.

    For this need, our IDP can only provide a field that contains free text. This field can contain many information, and can include special characters. We can add the Ops Manager groups in this field, among the existing text information.

    However we need Ops Manager to parse this free field and get the groups information, which is not possible for now.

    That's why we would like the implementation of…

  11. Rotate mongo logs

    When cluster is deployed, each mongo server start to generate a logfile "/var/log/mongodb-mms-automation/mongodb.log", we got an outage because it gets the disk full.
    It will be useful if we can specify a value to rotate and purge the log.

  12. Include CPU usage in Sharded Cluster Monitoring Overview

    In the sharded cluster monitoring overview it would be useful to also have the option to display the Process CPU usage to quickly identify shards which have a higher CPU load. Other hardware metrics might be useful as well.

  14. modify mongoDB DB user in ATLAS, OPS Manager , or Cloud Manager

    It would be really nice if mongocli could be used to modify user accounts. Add new roles, or change the password. Currently mongocli can add, list , delete project DB user accounts. It would be nice for modify, since there is a need for password rotation, and mongocli see so fit that bill quite nicely.

    This is for OPS Manager, but could be for OPS , Cloud or Atlas..

  15. Kubernetes Operator - Prefix Annotations and Labels

    Labels and annotations added to Kubernetes resources by the MongoDB Enterprise Operator should include a prefix designating that it was added by MongoDB. The lack of a prefix suggests the field and values are private to the user.

    For example, the MongoDB statefulset and service selector should use a label prefixed with a MongoDB domain.

  16. Allow S3 Oplog Store to be defined and configured using the Operator.

  17. Change MongoDB Log Settings via API

    You can set MongoDB log rotation for mongod process on project level in the Ops Manager through: Deployment -> More -> MongoDB Log Settings. However there is no option to set it via API.
    It looks like there is option to set this parameters on process level (in the Automation Config), but Ops Manager is not accepting new value, like it does when setting values for Monitoring Log rotation and Backup Log rotation.
    It would be great to have option to automate this when creating a new project via API and setting all other attributes with script.

  18. Use separate tls.crt and tls.key items in a kubernetes secret for certificates instead of a combined item named server.pem for a MondoDB rep

    There should be a way to use separate tls.crt and tls.key items in a kubernetes secret for certificates instead of a combined item named server.pem.

    We request our certs using cert-manager which generates secrets from the cert CRD and will get auto renewed every so often. These secrets have 2 items, tls.crt and tls.key.

    So far the only way I have seen to enable tls is to combine these 2 items and rename it into a new secret in kubernetes as item called server.pem. This however means that when a cert auto renews that the wrong secret…

    Support for Cert Manager as well as support for separate crt and key is on a roadmap.
    We will look into updating our docs to describe cert rotation.

  19. Allow to generate/download MongoDB Server Audit process logs

    Problem Statement,
    What is the problem? As of now (2021-03-17) Ops Manager does not support downloading MongoDB Server Audit process logs via UI/API. Atlas does have support for it (via GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{HOSTNAME}/logs/{LOG-NAME} API call).

    Why is this a problem? Users needs to be able to download MongoDB Server Audit process logs via Ops Manager, same way as they do for MongoDB Server process logs/FTDC and MongoDB Agent logs (this significantly simplify troubleshooting, when required). Some users require to download MongoDB Server Audit process logs programmatically to store them in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system.

    Proposal,
    * Add MongoDB…

  20. Ops Manager and Backup infrastracture Disaster Recovery support with K8s Operator

    We have carried out tests with MongoDB v1.5.5 K8s Operator and Ops Manager 4.2.18 with Backup infrastructure (S3 Snapshots) in an Openshift 3.11 environment (MongoDB Support case attached).

    In this case, a "Disaster Recovery" simulation has been carried out. However, several components created by the Operator had to be restored to obtain a similar state to the one before the "disaster".

    Furthermore, it is very likely that the S3 Snapshots will be lost if the process is not completed in a certain manner.

    It would be great to have an official approach to deploy/restore an OM resource using MongoDB K8s…

    There is no current supported mechanism for backing up Ops Manager in a way that guarantees the data. As Ops Manager is itself a backup tool, it's challenging to maintain the integrity of the data in DR scenarios.


    For this reason we recommend multi-site high availability for OM and AppDB. This is already possible when running OM on hardware of in VMs, but not currently supported in Kubernetes (unless a Kubernetes cluster is spanning sites).


    Later this year (2023) we hope to support OM deployments across multiple Kubernetes clusters - as we already support (in beta) for Replica Sets (full release in April 2023 with Sharded cluster support in May/June 2023). Doing so will reduce the criticality of a OM/AppDB backup solution within Kubernetes.
